Sunset Lake

View of Sunset Lake, the 207 acre lake in Eagle River, Wisconsin
   Sunset Lake has some of the prettiest water in the Eagle River area. The water is light blue in color and has a clarity of 17.5 ft. The average depth of the lake is a respectable 15 feet and the max depth is 30 feet. There is no public access to the lake. While the lake is only 207 acres, it does not have a large shoreline so there are not a lot of owners. There is 5.91 acres of water per owner and only about 15 owners per mile of shoreline. The lake is located just about ten minutes west of Eagle River and it is an easy drive to town since Sunset is just a bit north of Hwy 70. Sunset Lake is a moderately deep, moderately sized lake west of Eagle River, known for its very clear, strikingly pretty water. There is no public access, so use is limited to property owners and their guests, which helps keep both boating and fishing pressure low. The shoreline is largely private and wooded with homes that tend to be more spaced out and oriented toward quiet enjoyment of the water rather than resort-style activity. It's a moderately deep, very clear lake just west of Eagle River with no public landing and use limited to owners and their guests. That combination of clarity and privacy makes it attractive to buyers who prioritize quiet swimming, paddling, and views over a busy social scene. Buyers who choose Sunset Lake usually prioritize privacy, water clarity, and a peaceful daily rhythm over being on a heavily trafficked destination or chain.

This is a summary based on available information.

Clear, private lakes like Sunset typically support solid panfish and bass populations, with pike and the possibility of stocked gamefish depending on management. The combination of clear water and limited pressure means fish can be wary in bright conditions but may also grow to good sizes, especially where catch‑and‑release practices are common. Anglers often focus on early and late windows, working weed edges, points, and moderate breaks with subtle presentations and lighter line. For cabin owners, the lack of public access turns Sunset into a semi‑private fishing club, where a small group of regulars can fine‑tune patterns without competing with heavy outside pressure.
